Can't believe how well the car drives after the rebuild... Just need to get it mapped now, hopefully should see around 215-220?

To see that performance you will have to replace a few things. Wont cost you a fortune but personally i wouldnt leave it all standard. Also remember to run it in

Is the engine standard at the moment? If so a remap alone will see about 200bhp.

I'd be looking at adding the following before getting it mapped:

- Forge 007p or 008p
- Decent panel filter or induction kit
- Full exhaust including downpipe
- Decent silicone boost hoses

That lot should see you at around the 220bhp mark, for anything more you're going to need a FMIC and other bits and pieces.

Thanks Dom, I think I can manage with most of that it's just the exhaust that's giving me a headache, sooo expensive and I can't find anything sensible, might have to wait till the end of the summer as the exhaust and remap I imagine will be around £700-£800

Car is completely standard minus lowering kit and wheels

R-tech remap cost is about £290 I think, as for the exhaust a downpipe can be had from eBay for less than £90, the cat-back is the expensive part.
